For as long as there has been more than one console in the marketplace, there has been a certain type of rivalry between the purchasers of said consoles. Be it a friendly, personal opinion regarding the benefits one possesses over its competitors, or a more combative, stalwart argument regarding the superiority of their console of choice. The Console War is a constant my friends, a never ceasing conflict between sides that are neither good, nor evil…just opinionated. Hyperdimension Neptunia long ago decided to personalise this conflict by personifying these gaming machines as cute anime girls, all whom band together to fight greater evils. Perhaps we could all learn something from this series…or we could just say forget it and hit stuff with big weapons.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Console wars have been around pretty much since the dawn of videogames, but the Hyperdimension Neptunia series makes light of these arguments by personifying consoles and their manufacturers as cute goddesses and has them battle it out for supremacy. It proved to be a sleeper hit for publisher Compile Heart, who after an initially shaky start with the first entry transformed the series into its most compelling franchise."
Idea Factory’s games are so often full of life, exploding user screens with vibrant color, beautiful art, memorable characters and addictive gameplay. Unfortunately, Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed does little justice to the Neptunia franchise.
